What will cities of the future look like? Town planners are thinking of new methods of construction and transportation.

What will city transport be like in 20 or 30 years? The moving pavement is one possibility. It consists of several strips (полоса) moving along at different speeds. These escalators are moving in both directions along all streets. On reaching his destination (место назначения) the passenger steps over the slower strip and there to terra firma (неподвижная земля).

For convenience these moving pavements may be supplied with chairs,

benches, Vending machines selling soft drinks, ice-cream, candy and so on..

The first lines of such moving pavements should appear in the streets which have the heaviest traffic and are the most dangerous for pedestrians (пешеходы).In the beginning they will replace the older forms of city traffic only in certain streets, but then they will appear in asingle system serving the centre of the city. Buses, trolley-buses and motor-cars will be forced out as the trams are forced out of the centre of many cities now.
